Watch: Fox News Co-Host Just Asked 1 Question About ‘Black Lives Matter’ That Will Have Them Outraged

As America reels from the execution-style slaying of a Texas police officer on Friday and the violent anti-police rhetoric chanted by Black Lives Matter marchers in Minnesota on Saturday, one reporter has asked this simple question: How much hate can one group incite before it is classified as a hate group?

The racial polarization of America and the war against police officers were the topics being discussed Monday on Fox News’ Fox and Friends when co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck asked guest Kevin Jackson of the National Review that big question.

“Kevin, why has the Black Lives Matter movement not been classified yet as a hate group? I mean, how much more has to go in this direction before someone actually labels it as such?” she asked.

Jackson had much to say in response.

“Well, they should do it; but unfortunately it’s being financed by the leftists. And ironically, it’s people that have nothing, really no concern at all about black lives,” he said.

Jackson also asserted that the Black Lives Matter movement needs to address black community issues before turning its rage on others.

“The sad part about it is the impact that it’s gonna have in the black community and the fact that it takes away so much thought about what really is the problem in the black community, which is a lack of whole black families,” Jackson said. “What it allows people to do is sort of say, “Hey, let’s point the finger at everything but where it really needs to point.'”

“If we had more black families whole in the community, we would have a lot less of this,” he continued. “If we had clergy who were willing to support real issues and change in the black community, we’d have a lot less of this. And of course, we’ve got the Congressional Black Caucus, who actually loves this type of strife.”
